"Mogu" (boneless) floral painting is a classic technique in traditional Chinese art. Unlike the standard meticulous style (Gongbi), artists skip the initial ink outlines. Instead, they apply color, water, and ink directly onto the surface with a brush to shape the flowers and leaves. This creates a remarkably soft, fluid, and ethereal visual effect.
We have been practing togetehr since lockdown of the Covid.
Currently we are writing orchid pavilion and painting the orchid in MUGU沒骨FLOORAL花卉 style and in the spirit of "Xieyi" (freehand) style painting, 寫意, is a major genre in traditional Chinese art that literally means "writing the meaning." Instead of capturing the exact, realistic details of a subject, Xieyi artists use bold, cursive, and highly expressive brushstrokes to convey the inner spirit and the painter's emotional response. It values spontaneity and poetic mood over literal replication.
Currently in this 90 minutes of workshop, we are practice writing the Orchid of Pavilion ( 蘭亭集序)and painting the Orchid.

Annual Summer Brush Moment Workshop
begins this Friday at 6:00 PM.As always, we'll begin by gathering in the Zen garden, where a selection of unique teas will be served to welcome everyone. From 6:45–8:00 PM, we'll read and practice writing passages from the Dao De Jing through calligraphy.
This summer, I'll also weave in a few bamboo painting techniques here and there as a preview of future brush painting workshops.
No experience is necessary. If you're interested in mindfulness and breathing practices, you'll discover an effective way to cultivate focus and relaxation through the combination of tea and calligraphy.
